Are you passionate about supporting children with additional needs and looking to start or develop your career in education? We are currently recruiting for a confident, patient and enthusiastic 1:1 SEND Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming and supportive school in Marlow, with an immediate start available.

• Help the pupil overcome barriers to learning and participate fully in school life.
• Build a positive, trusting and supportive relationship with the pupil.
• Support the pupil both inside and outside the classroom.
• Encourage positive interaction with peers and support social development.
• Help create a safe, inclusive and supportive learning environment.
• Promote the safety, wellbeing and inclusion of the pupil.
• Work collaboratively with teachers, SEND staff and other professionals to ensure the pupil receives appropriate support.

What We're Looking For

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• Full-time availability, Monday to Friday, 8:30am - 4:00pm.
• A genuine passion for supporting children and young people with SEND.

• A patient, caring and understanding approach.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• The ability to build positive relationships with pupils.
• The confidence and resilience to provide dedicated one-to-one support.
• The ability to remain calm, patient and consistent when supporting children with additional needs.
